High-Efficiency Solar Thermal

Renewable Steam and Hot Water

Solar thermal receivers capture sunlight and convert it directly into heat for renewable steam or hot water. AeroShield-insulated receivers create energy up to 3x more efficiently than photovoltaic panels.

AeroShield Boosts Solar Thermal Performance

As the receiver heats up, thermal losses increase. AeroShield’s transparent insulation allows sunlight to pass, but prevents heat from escaping. The result is 30%+ improvements in solar thermal system efficiency, which improves ROI for end users.
